A Children's Zoo - Hardcover
Come to the zoo with Tana Hoban! Look at the animals. What are they? What are they like? The youngest visitor to this zoo can identify the creatures and describe them -- starting with Tana Hoban's words and adding to them. And, for those who want it, there is a glossary that includes where each animal lives and what it eats.
Tana Hoban's stunning photographs will captivate young naturalists everywhere.

PreSchool-Grade 1 A pleasing, small portfolio of familiar zoo animals. The omission of a gorilla or chimpanzee is puzzling, but never mind. Each animal is given splendid, full-color attention on its own black-framed page. Facing is its name in large, white print along with a three-word tag. "Big /white /growls" describes the polar bear, just as most young children would. These tags make nice riddles or beginnings for a child's additional description. On the final page, a chart notes natural geographical location as well as what they eat. For the most part, the photographs are standard zoo fare, but a few are truly different and amusing. The pleasures of naming and describing are discovered and practiced early on in childhood, and Hoban's new photographic book adds to these delights like few others.
